Could you build this?
No Building strike drones requires specialized hardware engineering, aerodynamics, flight avionics, and defense manufacturing that cannot be vibe-coded. It also requires navigating strict military and ITAR defense regulations.
What it would actually take: Development requires aerospace and mechanical engineers to design carbon-fiber or molded airframes and power systems, paired with embedded C/C++ firmware engineers writing flight control software (e.g., PX4/ArduPilot). The guidance system demands computer vision and RF/EW-resilient communications hardware. Production necessitates defense-grade manufacturing facilities and ITAR regulatory compliance.
